“Alright, so, first question: Are you guys just, like, freelancing for Lilith?” I asked. “Or is there some sort of hierarchy down there? Some sort of chain of command?”
“I really wish you mortals would stop referring to it as down there,” Cupiditas interrupted. “Hell and Heaven exist on a completely different astral plane. It’s not like if you dig deep enough into the ground you’re going to find the place.”
“Totally knew that,” Todd said with a smug nod from his chair.
“To answer your question before I was rudely interrupted by my sister over there,” Libidine joked, which prompted a dirty look from Cupi. “Every succubus and incubus serves Lilith, no questions asked. She was the first woman in the history of the universe to ever have sex, and she did it her way. She refused to be on the bottom like her husband ordered. That’s what got her banished from the Garden of Eden and branded as a sexual deviant.”
“Well, shit,” I said with a laugh. “If that’s all it takes, I don’t think there’s a single person on this Earth who wouldn’t fall under that category. I can certainly think of a few of my exes who wouldn’t listen in the bedroom. Tamira was almost certainly a demon…”
Todd made a hissing noise from across the room. “Bro, you promised to never say that name again! We don’t speak the name of the beast in this household.”
“Who’s Tamira? That’s a demon I’m not familiar with,” Cupi pondered.
“Tamira is my ex, but I’d really rather not talk about it right now,” I said with a sigh. “Let’s focus on things that are literally from Hell instead of figuratively. So, Lilith is the master of all succubi and incubi. Please continue!”
“Lilith is known as the Demon Queen, but there are other Queens and Kings of Hell,” The dark-haired woman nodded behind her purple eyes. “They are all Lucifer’s greatest allies, but she is by far the most ruthless and fearsome. Under her are the demon lords, powerful entities who act as generals in the wars against the Army of the Divine. Heaven’s army,” Liby added when she noticed my confusion. “Then there are the lesser demons. That would be someone like the pimps and the grunt soldiers.”
“So, my next question is simple,” I began. “Do you have powers? All the demons I see in movies and in Biblical stories can cast spells on people and turn invisible and all that.”
“Yes and no,” Liby answered. “All metaphysical beings have magical abilities. The higher up in the chain of command they are, the stronger their abilities. The problem is that we have entered into a contract with you, which means that, for the time being, you are our new master.”
“Although I think we’d both love it if you continued to be our master forever,” the blonde woman giggled.
“That would be delightful.” Libidine smirked. “But us lower-level entities have abilities that are bound to our masters. Since we’ve essentially started over with somebody new, our power levels have been reset to zero.”
“How do we get them back up?” I questioned.
“The closer the bond we have with our master, the stronger our powers become.” The dark-haired succubus batted her eyes at me. “Right now, our connection is still budding, so our powers are at a basic level.”
Cupi laughed. “In other words, our powers grow the more the three of us have sex.”
“Hey, now that’s something I can get behind!” I chuckled at her words.
“I hope it’s not the only thing you’re getting behind…” The blonde bit her lip and stared at me hungrily.
“I’m trying to eat here, guys,” the imp scoffed. “Why don’t you get back to the good stuff? I was actually learning a lot!”
“Thank you, Todd,” I said with a sigh. “So, what, you guys don’t really have any say in what you do? Like you’re all just subordinates to other demons?”
“Particularly our master, Earl,” Cupi said, vitriol filling her voice. “He’s the one who keeps us in line and makes sure that the humans who summon us pay up when the time comes.”
“Sounds like a real asshole.” I tried to be as sympathetic as possible. “Which leads me to our next question. What are the odds of him coming after you? You guys are supposed to take my soul and return to Hell after the deed is done, right?”
“I don’t know,” Cupiditas murmured, and both of the succubi paused and looked at each other tensely. “We probably aren’t even on his radar right now.”
“And what happens if you are?” I asked with a grave tone.
“Then he comes after us and takes us back with him, whether we want to go or not.” Libidine pouted. “But don’t be sad. There’s still plenty of time for us to have our fun, so we should enjoy our time here while we can.”
“But wait,” I cleared my throat and raised a finger in the air. “I don’t want any douchebag demon-pimp to take you two away from me. Is there something we can do to stop him? Can I fight him or something?”
The two beautiful succubus women looked at each other briefly. I couldn’t read much into their short exchange, but Cupi nodded and then Libby turned back to me with a slight smile on her lips.
“You would fight for us?”
“Of course,” I said with a shrug. “You two are my women, and I really like you.”
“We like you too,” Cupi said as she brushed back her beautiful blonde hair from her forehead. “We’d like to stay with you forever. If we could.”
“So there is a way?” I asked, and I noticed Todd lean forward with interest.
“Yes,” both of the women said in unison.
“You’ll have to get stronger, much stronger,” Liby said as she bit her lip.
“Soooo, uhhh, more sex?” I asked.
“A lot more sex,” Cupi purred. “Lots, and lots, and lots of sex, but there are other things we need to do. We need to form a very close bond. That way, when Earl comes for us, the three of us will be strong enough to beat him.”
“Four of us,” Todd said. “Don’t leave me out of an epic demon battle. I’m in this to win this. Fuck yeah motherfuckers!” My friend slammed a small fist against his tiny red chest, but it made a surprisingly loud bass drum sound.
“Got it,” I said as I nodded at Todd. “Four of us.”
“First, you should get used to being our master,” Liby said. “You should order us around a bit more, really show your dominance. Just like someone who could harness demon powers would.”
“But I don’t really have any demon pow--”
“Fake it till you make it, handsome,” Cupi said with a shrug. “That’s kind of how Hell works anyways.”
“I think I can do that,” I said.
“Yay!” Liby said as she clapped her hands together. “This is going to be so much fun. I knew there was something special about you when I first saw you, and then it was confirmed when you fucked my brains out. I can’t wait for you to beat that asshole Earl.”
“Can you tell me anything about him?” I asked.
“Ewww,” Liby said as she made a sour face. “Let’s just focus on us for now. We’ll talk about him when he comes for us.”
“If he even comes for us,” Cupi said with a shrug. “He might not. Even if he doesn’t, I’d love to have lots of sex with Jacob and have him grow more powerful.”
“Me too.”
“Okay,” I said. “Sounds like we kinda sorta have a plan.”
“So, what is thy bidding, my master?” Cupiditas asked seductively as she stood up from the couch and arched her back in a long stretch.
“Sick reference, dudette.” Todd chuckled and put his hand over his mouth to muffle his voice. “Now say, ‘I am your father!’”
“I don’t think they have movies and TV in Hell, Todd,” I laughed as the succubi both looked at the imp like he was certifiably insane.
“You’d actually be surprised.” Cupi shrugged. “Plenty of succubi get summoned up here to Earth Realm just to keep lonely people company. I know I’ve had to sit through plenty of awful dinners and crappy ‘films,’ as you call them, just
because the guy who brought me forth wanted to wine and dine me before he sealed the deal.”
“I don’t know what you’re complaining about. I actually quite like being wined and dined.” Libidine smiled dreamily at the thought of it.
Cupiditas just shrugged. “I’m more of a get in, get out kinda girl. We’re succubi. Our duty is to fuck them, not befriend them.” She laughed.
“You’re such a tight-ass.” Libidine giggled as she smacked Cupi on the rear playfully. To be fair, Cupi did have a particularly tight ass, tight enough to bounce a quarter off easily.
“That is the point, sister.” The fit blonde smiled seductively and blew me a kiss. “Jacob will find that out for himself soon enough, though.”
“Do you guys ever think about anything other than sex?” Todd laughed.
“Well, it kind of goes with the job.” Libidine stuck out her tongue at the imp. “I didn’t hear anyone complaining last night!”
“Touche, my bodacious black-haired beauty,” he said with a nod.
“What about Lilith?” I questioned as I began to think more about our plan to fight Earl. “Is she going to notice you’re gone?”
“No,” Cupi said with certainty as she shook her head. “I’d be surprised if Lilith even knew what our names are. We’re just another pair of succubi in her massive army. Now, if Earl brought it to her attention… Well, we won’t even think about that. He’s too much of a coward to face the Demon Queen face-to-face anyways. If he comes, he will come alone.”
“Then let’s go out to celebrate our newfound friendship, and help Jacob grow in power!” Libidine exclaimed.
“First thing’s first,” I said as I admired the naked women standing in front of me. “We need to find you some clothes. And then, I want to see these powers in action.”
Chapter 4
“I’m still surprised you’re okay with me having both succubi,” I said to Todd as we walked down the bustling streets of our city.
“I dunno, man. Ever since I got this sweet imp bod, they just… aren’t attractive to me. I think it’s a demon on demon thing.” He shrugged.
“Fair enough,” I said even though I couldn’t really believe it. The two girls had only been with us for a grand total of sixteen hours, and all I could think about was when I would get a chance to bang them again.
And it wasn’t just because Cupi had done that thing with her tongue or Liby had done that thing with her breasts. I actually really liked talking to the women. They were witty, fun, clever, and actually seemed to care about me.
I’d never really had a woman care about me before, let alone two beautiful ones, and I didn’t intend to let any of their demon lords take them back to Hell.
If Cupi and Liby were going to stay with us here on Earth, they were going to need to blend in, so I’d lent them some of my old clothes so they didn’t have to walk naked down the streets of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the entire United States.
Since Cupiditas really didn’t care about what she wore, she gladly slapped on one of my old pairs of sweatpants and a ratty university sweatshirt and was happy as a lark. The blonde succubus was more of a “work first, play later” type of girl. In fact, she took her job so seriously that she kept her hair short just so that it wouldn’t get in the way during fellatio. Talk about dedication.
Liby, on the other hand, seemed appalled by the idea of wearing menswear, so much so that she suggested that the first thing we do was to go out to buy them some “real clothes” with the “spending money” they’d been given by their master to fulfill their jobs should the need for money come up. Liby definitely wanted to embrace her feminine side, and she gazed longingly at the nice dresses and short skirts that other women walking past us wore.
Todd was a problem as well. We couldn’t just go out in broad daylight with a three-foot-tall devil imp at our side, so I had stuffed Todd into one of my duffel bags for safe travel while we were out in public. The imp had, oddly enough, thought it was a great solution since I had to carry him around.
Still, as we approached the mall on West Avenue, my old friend became more and more restless. “You know this thing smells like your old gym shorts, right? Can’t you at least give me a bit of ventilation? Or like, buy a cat carrier or something? I get that you don’t want to be seen out with me, but at least let me breathe!”
“Relax, little guy,” Cupi leaned her head down toward the duffel bag. “It’s just until we get to our destination. Then we’ll let you out, and you can play all you want.”
“Really? You’re not going to try to hide me away?” the imp asked, somewhat surprised.
“Of course not, Todd,” I chuckled. “You’ve been my best friend for years. Just because you’re a little tanner and shorter doesn’t mean I’m going to kick you to the curb like that hot garbage pizza we ate last week.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, man,” the imp said as he smacked his lips. “That shit was delicious!”
I raised an eyebrow as we approached the door of the mall. “You were also baked out of your mind.”
“Is there any other way to eat two-dollar pizza?”
“Fair point,” I said as I opened the door for the ladies.
As the four of us entered the mall, they looked completely flabbergasted. I didn’t know a ton about demonology or the mythos of Hell, but I was sure they didn’t have dozens of clothing stores, tasteful fountains, white tiled floors, and Tuscan style light fixtures.
And they definitely didn’t have Kenny G playing over the speakers in Hell.
With squeals of joy, Cupi and Liby both bee-lined straight toward the first clothing store they saw.
As I carried Todd after them, I realized just how good I felt about my present situation. Last night was the most alive I had felt in years. For once in my life, I was in control. Both Liby and Cupi were gorgeous creatures. The fact that they chose to stay on Earth and to defy their demon overlords for me made them all the more attractive. If that was even possible.
Todd was right, summoning these two was the best idea he’d ever had. Better still, Todd seemed happy with his new life as well. Now that he was an imp, Todd was free of all of those Earthly responsibilities. He could sit around all day smoking, drinking, playing video games, and when he got bored with that, he could go out and cause as much mischief as his little heart desired. My roommate had always been the class clown of our school, but now he had a chance to shine on an interdimensional stage.
As I entered the well-lit clothing store, I noticed there was somewhat of a commotion going on.
An older woman rushed out as she pulled her small grandson behind her. A couple of teenage boys had formed a small crowd and pointed into the rows of clothes with their mouths all agape, and my mind raced with the possibilities of what the two women could be doing.
“Maybe they’re making out?” Todd asked as he nonchalantly fiddled with the bag’s zipper.
When I rounded the corner, I saw what was causing the ruckus. Liby and Cupi were both standing there buck naked, giggling as they grabbed pieces of clothing off the rack and tried them on. Liby was holding up a silver dress to her soft pink skin, but even then her breasts were so large that they held the garment several inches away from her body for all to see. Cupi smiled and nodded at Libidine’s fashion choice and then bent over to pull up a pair of thigh-high socks onto her legs. My heart skipped a beat at the scene, but I knew I had to do something before we got security called on us.
Panicked, I ran toward them and threw up my hands.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! You guys can’t just get naked in the middle of the store!” I exclaimed.
Both succubi looked puzzled. “How else are we going to try on new clothes if we can’t take off our old ones?” Cupi asked.
“Yeah, Jacob! How are they?” Todd snickered.
“That’s what dressing rooms are for.” I laughed and pointed toward the back as I held up a shirt to cover Liby’s exposed breasts. “Take the clothes
you want to try on in there and then change so that other people can’t see you.”
“I don’t understand.” Liby frowned with confusion. “Does showing off our bodies upset you? If so, I’ll make sure not to do it again.”
“Yeah, upsetting you is the last thing we want,” Cupi added thoughtfully.
“It’s not that.” I sighed and shook my head. “Look, girls, do you really want to draw attention to yourselves? You just broke your succubus code or whatever and said you wanted to stay with me forever. You’ll probably have some powerful demons looking for you. You need to act a little more casual.”
“Casual, got it,” Liby said as she pulled up her hair into a ponytail. “Is this better?”
“That’s better,” I laughed, “but you have to use the dressing room.” I couldn’t be mad at these two. They were just trying to have a good time, and I didn’t want to be the one to ruin it for them. But seriously, the last thing we needed was to be the center of attention.
An overweight looking man approached us before the girls could go into the dressing room. The man wore a plain gray dress shirt, with a breast pocket that held a pen and a pad of paper, as well as a pair of plain black dress pants. There was a belt on his waist that screamed in agony as it tried to keep his pants atop his nonexistent hips. The man’s face was red with rage as he ran to our position, but he had to keep stopping and pulling up on his belt to keep his trousers from falling down.
“Girls, you know you can’t be doing that here in the middle of the store!” he growled.
“I’m sorry,” I raised my hand to try to calm him down. “They’re European. There are different types of laws about nudity over there, you know? Just a bit of culture shock that’s all!” I smiled as I gestured to the girls, and they both nodded apologetically.
“Look here, mister,” the burly man’s eyes narrowed. “I’m the store manager. I don’t care if these girls are Frenchies or Krauts or Ruskis or whatever fairy-ass country they came from. You know damn well that they can’t be just flaunting their stuff right out in the open. I don’t want my classy establishment ending up on the six o’clock news and getting shut down because two whorish foreigners can’t keep their clothes on!”
